Joe Schoen is GM'ing for his life, and Daboll is coaching for his life. I don't think you see them trading away, unless they really think Jaxson Dart or Shedeur Sanders can be something. I'm more interested in Pittsburgh trading up for either of the QBs.

He is but they really don’t need a 3rd edge rusher with all of their problems. If they trade down they can get a QB for a better price and then sell his development plus the extra capital to ownership. Then they pray DangerRuss gets them 9 wins. No option is great for the Giants but this is what I would do if I was them.

I’m still holding out hope the Giants trade us pick 3 and we get Carter. I’m fine giving them next years 1st to do this. The question is what else would be needed?

Pick # 3 (2200 points).

for

Pick #10 (1300 points)
Pick #39 (510 points)
Pick #41 (490 points)


It works on the trade chart. 🤷‍♂️


(This is not me endorsing or proposing this trade)

Why do people keep saying this? Who is Pittsburgh trading up to get ahead of? Don’t think they even have a 2nd pick too

The Giants have to determine soon whether they’ll exercise his fifth-year option. One executive estimated the Giants could move Thibodeaux for a third-round pick if he’s not in their long-term plans.

If this is real, seems like a no-brainer.

Poles will draft a bum with that 3rd rounder anyways.

I’ll take that trade over the next Velus or damaged goods Poles would draft.

Right nobody wants the QBs ahead of them and nobody is going trade above them. If anything teams will trade into the late 1st to grab one of them after the Steelers pass.

There’s a lot of room for Mason Graham to be inferior to Aaron Donald but still an extremely good football player.

For sure, I don’t disagree. I think he will be a good football player…am I sold on him being elite/blue chipper? Not necessarily, but he’s a relatively safe pick.

I like graham but I do think he’s a bit overrated. I think he’s just a notch below a blue player and I’d hardly be surprised if he doesn’t end up as the best DT in this class. Harmon and Nolen both have higher ceilings IMO
I agree with this, except I’m not as high on Harmon as some others.

It’s instinct more than anything, but I don’t think Graham will be as impactful a pro player as most believe.

I think Grant and Nolen are the 2 best DL in this draft class.

If Schoen and Daboll feel the pressure, it makes a lot of sense to me to turn Kayvon into another player. If they get a 3rd rounder for him, that pick can even be packaged to move up for a QB, if that's what they want to do. If the Bears gave 72, they'd be able to pair it with their 2nd to move up to around 23 to take a QB. They have their own 3rd too, but this all just gives more flexibility. Walk away with Carter and Sanders and fans will be pretty happy.

Nolen is super talented but there are some character/work ethic concerns there. That always bothers me but this staff might be able to get the most from him. Definitely would not take him at 10 though.

I don't buy anything that says the Saints are drafting a QB. They are on the March for Arch.
